Little A Night Music about

admin — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 04:28:49 +0000

I saw this filmed version of Sondheim’s “Little Night Music” back in the 70’s and I was enchanted! I haven’t seen a staged version, but, as a Stephen Sondheim fan, I didn’t feel cheated by the film. Elizabeth Taylor is just fine and she is more than ably supported by an extraordinarily appealing cast. So I anxiously await the DVD release; any copy of it will be superior to the look of the VHS version; and it’s a great musical that deserves to be seen by a larger audience.

This is a great vacuum. We’ve had it about a month now and I’ve used it 3 or 4 times in our 3-bedroom home. We’ve had absolutely no problems with it.

The suction power is unbelievable and the overall performance is much better than vacuums costing many hundreds more. It has all the tools I’ll need. The cord length is not a problem for us. I can vacuum 3/4 of our largest room before I have to replug it into another socket. Frankly, I don’t consider that a “problem” or a “defect.” As for the noise…come on, this is a vacuum cleaner, not a refrigerator or a lamp. Of course it’s a little loud. But it’s not like we have to listen to it for hours on end. This version doesn’t have a headlight or a bag-full indicator. I don’t vacuum in total darkness and indicator lights often malfunction or give false readings. It’s very easy to snap off the front panel and visually check on the bag. So again, these are non-issues for me. I’m more interested in how the vacuum cleaner vacuums, and this one does a great job.

It’s hard to believe that something this good costs only $76. After dealing with the mess of emptying out the container on our former bagless vacuum, we definitely wanted to get one that was a bagged version. And we weren’t interested in spending $700 on one either. The Tempo Widepath is a fantastic value.

This is a book that I think is better in the audio version than it would have been in print. All the narrators did an excellent job–the accents make it so much fun to listen to. I would recommend this to anyone looking for something to keep them entertained on a long car ride, while cooking/doing chores, or just for relaxing.

The book is set in Ireland for the most part and is written by an Irish author. Artemis Fowl is a twelve year old genius, who lives on an estate outside of Dublin. He has decided to replace his family’s failing wealth by stealing a Fairy’s `Book’. Artemis learns the language and customs of fairies, and develops a complicated plan to capture a fairy, Holly, in order to trade her for all the gold in the LEPrecons hostage fund. Holly is an energetic Fairy with a bit to prove since her recent catastrophe. The book is fast paced and interesting. The difference between the two worlds is intriguing. The author alternates between the viewpoint of Artemis and Holly. At one point in the middle of the book, the author’s voice pops in and introduces another character, literally. The effect was a speed bump while reading. This is a world where the different species interact; dwarf, trolls, mud people (humans) and fairies are alive and interesting. The author alluded to at least two other stories related to the characters in this book. The problem with the book is I didn’t really identify with any of the characters. There were interesting passages about Artemis and Holly, the Butler character was intriguing, and Commander Root was unique, but none of them had me cheering for them to succeed. Holly was the friendliest character, but she was not the main character. It would be interesting to have a student debate the ethics of Artemis’ plan. What was the good Artemis accomplished? Or was there any at all? The end of the book specifically states that we should not interpret Artemis’ actions regarding his mother and anything other than selfishness. Students will identify with Artemis because he is so smart, smarter than everyone around him, what kid doesn’t feel that? He gets to order around all the adults in his world as well. Artemis is a classic teenager in some ways as well; he wants his mother around, but only on his terms and doing what he wants her to do. I would recommend thi

Buying stuff like a kindle usually makes me worry that we’re all losing touch with the simple life. But now I don’t have to have thousands of books all over my house like my parents do just because I like to read. Also, it helps save some trees.

A Light Shed Little information

It’s great to finally have a scale that looks cool, doesn’t have to be tapped first, and is accurate. However, the display has a blue backlight that totally takes over and makes the black number unreadable if I am looking from above. See Customer Image #4, the one showing my feet on the scale. To read it, I have to either step off the scale (and hope that the display stays on a while longer) or stand on the scale backwards, look between my legs, and read an upside-down number.

Edit: It was due to weak batteries. The batteries that ship with this scale do not last very long.
